What Aliena Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
Kirura Factory is located in Kiambu County, in Kenya's Central Highlands, at elevations between 1.800 and 1.950 meters above sea level.
Established in 1988 and operating under the Komothai Farmers Cooperative Society, it works with around 800 smallholder farmers cultivating SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties on mineral rich volcanic soils.
The coffee is fully washed using clean water sourced from the nearby Gatamaiyu River. After careful hand sorting of ripe cherries, the coffee undergoes overnight fermentation, washing, density separation and slow drying on raised beds.
The high altitude and cool climate allow for slower cherry maturation, contributing to a clean and layered cup profile, with notes of red currant, pink grapefruit, pomegranate and black tea.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Kenya
Aliena Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity, citrus, tea-like. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Kenya; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
tea-like is unusual here — 11% of coffee from Kenya are described that way.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
